Zakir Naik – Why is Consumption of Alcohol Prohibited in Islam?

			What does Islam say about alcohol? Does it prohibit it entirely? Allah says no Quran in surah majda
chapter number five was the 90 Yeah, you listen or you believe in number camrol mesu most certainly
intoxicants and gambling, well unsolvable Islam, dedication of stones, divination of arrows reached
to minimally shaytan Did I say to the handover first enable them to free one abstain from this
handle that you may prosper? For Allah says, This is Rich to me, Emily shaytan. It's a Satan and
evil. abstain from that you will prosper
		

			and Eman Dobby in his list of the 70 major sins he puts having at all intoxicants comer having wine,
number 19 in the list and having toxic enthusiasm in private and Christianity.
		

			If you read the Bible, it's mentioned in the Book of Proverbs, chapter number 20 was number one, it
says that wine is a mocker.
		

			It is strong, raging drink. And anyone who deceived is not wise. It's mentioned the book of
Ephesians chapter number five verse number 18. Be not drunk with wine. But unfortunately, we find
that none of the Christians and the Jews, they follow the advice given in the Bible unfortunately.
And
		

			what is the logic? The reason that Islam is prohibited alcohol normally in the human be there is an
inhibitory center, this inhibitory center, it prevents a human being from doing things which are
illogical and not correct. For example, if a person wants to go to the call of nature,
		

			Liberty center will say that don't do it in a public place. Go to the toilet, anybody that is
working. I ever dissenter, when a person speaks to the parents, tells that don't be disrespectful to
parents. Don't use foul language. So this is the work of any beauty center. When a person is
intoxicated. When a person has intoxication has wine has alcohol, the inhibitory centers in Britain
and he doesn't know what speaking therefore you find many of them they start cursing, they start
with verbal abuse, you find them saying obscene things, you may find them that they urinate in their
own clothes. This is because anybody sent is limited.
		

			And if we analyze that alcohol is responsible for many crimes that take place,
		

			according to the US Department of Justice 1986 every day, in the year 1986 2713 cases of * took
place. That means every table second one * is taking place in America 1986.
		

			And the report says that majority of the people who committed *, they were intoxicated.
		

			Furthermore, when American statistics it says that 80% of the Americans, they indulge in *,
having * with a close relative.
		

			And it says that every 12% who come across in America that we insist, and majority of them, they're
in a state of intoxication when they do insist. So we realize that alcoholism besides being bad for
health, it's a cause for many diseases, and health wise and even it is a cause for AIDS
		

			which has recently cropped up.
		

			And there are many people who say that I am a social drinker, and have only one beggar on the
intoxicated.
		

			When you interview, the alcoholics, all of them when we ask them, they will say they initially their
social drinkers, no alcoholic starts to drink because he wants to become alcoholic. All of them are
social drinkers. Later on, they become alcoholics. And if you meet any social drinker who has been
drinking for a couple of years, you asked him that how many times he been intoxicated, and there
will be several times that have been toxic and with all the power that he has.
		

			And once a person is intoxicated, and if he commits a sin like *, like him says, it's an
unforgivable sin and irreversible damage done. And we realize that that is the reason a beloved
partner seldom mentioned in every major, verb number three,
		

			Book of intoxicants. Chapter number 38. Number 3371.
		

			The blood Prophet said that intoxication, alcohol is the mother of all evils. Alcohol is the mother
of all evils, and further mentioned in every major verb number three, Book of intoxicants. Chapter
number 30. Added number 389 to the Beloved Prophet said that anything which intoxicates in large
quantity is even private
		

			In small quantity, no excuse for the Peridot. You can't say that I'll take a peg you know, whatever
intoxicates the large quantity is in private and small quantity. And the Beloved Prophet, yes curse
10 categories of people intelligence, I call it mentioned in every major volume number three, Book
of intoxicants. Chapter number 30. Added number 3380. The Beloved Prophet said 10 categories of
people who indulge in alcohol accost The one who destroys it, the 140 distilled, the one who brings
it, the one who transports it, the one for whom it is bought, the one who sells it, the one who
serves it, the one who utilizes the earnings from the sale of alcohol, the one buys it, the one who
		

			buys it for somebody else. So all these 10 categories of people, they are cursed by last minute
Allah and there are various different diseases that a person can acquire when he has

to pacify that. Don't be rude to the alcoholic. No, don't blame him. alcoholism is a disease. If
alcoholism is a disease, it is the only disease that is sold in bottles.
